You might also want to check out the "Hot Club of San Francisco" records on the Clarity label, in which she is featured along some other fine jazz/blues singers and musicians. There are two CD's, and they both feature top-quality sonics. Her performances are, as I recall, "Nautre Boy," Don't Be That Way" and "Loverman" -- all outstanding.

If you look hard enough, you might also find "GREATEST HITS! JIM KWESKIN & THE JUG BAND." This is an early record (circa 1970 on Vanguard) in which Maria is featured on several tracks. I believe she was married to Kewskin at the time. The sonics will not make this one of your reference recordings, and some of the material is a bit on the creaky side; but I own it for its definitive version of "Ukelele Lady." Maria is NOT the performer of this particular track, however.
